I’ve hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language “This is America, speak English!” even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

Happens in every country and in every nation. This isn’t a strictly American issue
Yep, went to france to kearn french, was questioned (by an idiot) why I didn’t knew (spoke) french well.
They exist in all countries.
Don’t you DARE speak French in France unless you’re a native speaker!
That country is the reverse complaint put forth in this thread.
When I want to France they all treated me with respect because I attempted French first over English.
Same.
Of course, the first phrase I made absolutely certain I could rattle off was “excuse me I don’t speak French well”. Deliver that with a smile and they can be pretty damn forgiving.
